Raph and I have come to Detroit, America’s Finest City™, and for Detroit, we needed a fine car. So we get a 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R. It’s loud as hell, and comfier than you’d expect. Ask us anything you want about it.

Tesla just announced that it’s expanding its Supercharger network of fast-charging stations to dense urban areas, starting with Boston and Chicago. If you don’t understand how that seemingly minor announcement could be the harbinger of the real electric revolution, then you don’t know jack.

I am not some sort of finger-wagging ninny, I’ll say that upfront. But I am a human being, and frankly, sir, when I see you riding your motorcycle without a helmet, it makes me nervous as all hell. Stop it. Right now.

The theory of Tuff Trucks is pretty simple. Lay out a torture test on a dirt course, complete with hills and jumps, and let just about anything run the track. A lot of the time you get incredibly hardcore trucks that look like they could run the Baja. But sometimes, you get crap like this Saturn. And it’s amazing.

The 2017 Ford Raptor is all big turbo engine, enormous body, and the beefiest Fox Racing shocks this side of a baja truck. That suspension is damn near all the fun in the Raptor, and this what it looks like when it’s actually being put to work.

Chris Evans, everyone’s favorite one-season Top Gear shouty man, is getting paid £2.25 million (or $2,932,447.50) by the BBC, according to a report from the British government broadcaster. But the weird thing is, even though it’s not for Top Gear, it’s at least in part because of Jeremy Clarkson.

France is a country, so to celebrate its national holiday, Bastille Day, it puts on a huge military parade. And because France is a Chill and Cool country, it celebrates by making its military play a bunch of Daft Punk, France’s most accomplished robots.

One of the Alfa Romeos we’ve got out of the press fleet broke down on us last night. There were many searing nuclear takes about what we did wrong and how we are bad people because of it, but this is the only good one.

BONG BONG BONG. The dashboard had lit up like a Christmas tree. Power was gone. The whole car started shuddering. We were in a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia with just barely 1,709 miles on the odometer, and it was already breaking down.

Many words are written about the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and how there are lots of crazy rally cars and trucks and whatnot flying up a hill. But I just want to appreciate this 1927 Bugatti Type 35B, which was absolutely flogged around the track like it should be.

Take a look at yourself in the mirror. You have bad opinions and you only buy massive heaps of dumb shit. You don’t deserve anything good. “But I deserve nice things, I’m a nice person!” No. You’re terrible. You all never bought a Chevrolet SS, and now they’re gone with no replacement. Chevy finally got the thing…

Now that i think about it, I’m not sure I fully understand the premise of 1980's hit television sensation, Turbo Teen. Like, I accept the premise that he was both a car and a Cool Teen.
